Has anyone had things cancelled from orders that have moved to 'despatching soon'? Or are you definitely going to get everything when it says that? I have a feeling that sometimes they say that, then despatch the bulk of the order, but the remaining items sit there for a bit then get cancelled

Also, what's the oldest order you've got sat at not yet despatched? I've got one from 10th Jan - not looking good for that one then!

Oh no Claire, is there an alternative coat on it's way? I've had some despatched emails this morning (mostly jewellery lol) but none of my 'top 3' orders that I really want. Fingers crossed.....

That was a nice long winter coat for £19 from £99, all my others are jackets

Unfortunatly Ive had things that were dispatching soon and then had them cancelled, so its not a definate until dispatched, but more likely than the ones that have nothing happening to them.

My earliest order now is the 13th as the ones I had earlier than that have now all been cancelled. Typically the one order I really wanted too.

I think once you have had one cancel email on a dispatching soon the other items are really coming. If you had no email and its gone to dispatching soon I think you are ok as they have already picked them

OK, I have been brave and added up what I spent..... £951 !!!!

(this will come down a bit with more postage refunds and a few returns)

I worked out this equates to £8000 roughly worth of stuff I never knew I needed lol.

Seriously though I think me and kids are kitted out for quite a while now, feel a bit bad but didn't get OH anything. I have bought shoes/trainers coats/outfits in a good few sizes for kids.

I feel I have been very lucky with my orders and even though lots cancelled I found alternatives as days went on. Never did get one of my £100 xmas trees though lol

EDIT or a cocktail shaker !

The only thing I have not dispatching soon, is a magic wishing wand 50p for 8th Jan, I ordered 2 but only 1 sent.

EDIT: cancel email came on one outstanding

Gutted - Had a £59 to £9 silk cardi come today for my sister's birthday and its got a huge flaw (hole where thread has pulled) right on the front. Had been so excited when I got the despatch email for it! (Did get her a nice coat for £9 though and a silk dressing gown for £12)

I've just picked up a mens sleeveless 100% cashmere jumper in store for £7 ...but the original price has been removed, does anyone know how much they were please?

Well I've got 4 entire orders 'not yet despatched' (2 of my top 3 in there) and a few despatching soon (including 1 of my top 3) most of which have had lots cancelled off them already. Now I can't keep placing new orders there's nothing left but to obsess over existing ones :rotfl:

Yikes Claire, that's a scary number :shocked: Well worth it for £8000 I guess...... My worry is the 'never knew I needed' bit, because I know I'm guilty of buying stuff just because it's a bargain or because I wanted it, rather than needed it

I keep reassuring myself that I'm not planning to keep all of it, so it's a bit like taking 4 pairs of jeans into the changing rooms when you only plan to buy one?

Still don't think I dare to add my total up though _pale_
